JACKSONVILLE
Myrtlewood Shop Opens
By MRS. C. S. HOSKINS
Jacksonville A new business
opening in Jacksonvile last
week was the Jacksonville myr
tlewood shop, at Fouth and East
California street, which is the
former location of the Jackson
ville Clothing store.
The proprietor, Walt "McGuire,
has on display a large assort
ment of handmade myrtlewood
household articles such as lamps,
lazy susans. cake plates, wall
plaques, candle sticks and salt
and pepper sets. He plans to
keep the shop open for boon
buying and 'looking' every day
including Sunday.
McGuire was formerly in busi
ness in Eugene, and stated that
he has several hundred feet of
cured wood which he brought
with him. The wood requires a
year to each half inch of thick
ness to be properly dried, he
said. His workshop and equip
ment for turning out the articles
is in the back of hii display
room. He does all his own work
and designing.
According to McGuire the
Myrtle is one of the most beauti
ful evergreen and is found only
in Coos, Curry and a portion of
Douglas counties in southwest
ern Oregon and in the Holyland.
The tree is round-topped, with
a dark green foliage reaching a
' height of from fifty to eighty
feet during its lifetime of from
250 to 500 years. The average
sized tree used in the manufac
turing of novelties is about two
feet thick. Some few of the old
trees are from six to seven feet
in diameter. Its leaves are thick
and glossy, smooth on the edge
and very aromatic when crushed.
Myrtle is a hard wood and has
one of the greatest color ranges
to be found in any wood. It
varies from light tan to deep
golden brown and from shades
of gray to almost black and oft
entimes with the various hues of
the rainbow intermingling. Many
of the articles on display in his
shop show the proof of this. His
collection includes small myrtle
wood gold pans and picks. That
will be sold as souvenirs of Jack
sonville. McGuire also has living quar
ters in the back of his shop, and
Mr. and Mrs. Vern McGuire and
family, of Eugene, were recent
visitors at his home.
Another shop opening in Jack
sonville last week was Dick's
barber shop on West California
street. R. A. Steele, the proprie
tor, and his wife and daughter,
Glenda Joy, a fifth grader, will
move to Jacksonville from Med
ford as soon as school is out.
Steele will have the shop open
five days a week, from 9 a.m.
until 6 p.m.
